A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacist websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.
Cool, but I think this is exceptionally stupid. There will be cameras, Id badges, emails, all with an easy to get warrant. I guess DE might make it more difficult but I think dumb none the less.
I had the exact same thoughts when I first started seeing this story pop up on my news feeds. Like, this person will see the inside of a prison cell for this, especially given the type of content hosted and the current make-up of the Justice Dept. What they did was, quite literally, cyber-terrorism. Hope it was worth it, I guess, given that these sites are all back online now like it never happened.

Personally I admire someone who is prepared to publicly take some personal risk in order to fight white supremacists.
